They are being banned because RL people are still being affected by these events.
Oh, spare us the concern-trolling for the victims. RL people are affected by all kinds of awful events. I remember that person walking into an exchange post on FFA a couple of weeks back arguing that noncon shouldn't be allowed in the exchange because they were a rape survivor. Would you think that's justified too? Where does it stop? People are victims of cancer, natural disasters, domestic abuse, and so many other things that are not banned from Yuletide, nor should they be.
In case of Nazis, how is it any more respectful on the victims to write fic glorifying (possibly real life) Nazis from a fictional canon? That's why the ban is "arbitrary". Because you can't ban everything that affects RL people in a horrible way.
